My motherโs birthday is tomorrow. She made the journey in 2007. Everything I am is because of her teachings and counsel and guidance. Iโd be incredibly grateful if you could wish her a happy birthday, where she is, out there with her ancestors โ among the star nation (Pleiades.)
No, how do you figure that? Iran can't touch the money. It has to go directly to companies that provide aid to Iranian citizens for humanitarian purpose. For example, the US could provide medical a payments to an organization that will provide medical care and medicine to Iranian civilians.
To all of those people who spent days claiming Biden gave Iran $6 billion and that money ended up in the hands of Hamas terrorists, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken just fact-checked that ridiculous claim.
He said:
โWith regard to the $6 billion. First, again, itโs always worth repeating the facts because, unfortunately, the facts get lost along the way. The money that Iran accrued in bank accounts, in this case in South Korea, for the sale of its oil, was done pursuant to an arrangement established by the previous administration โ the Trump administration.
โNone of the funds that have now gone to Qatar have actually been spent or accessed in any way by Iran. Indeed, funds from that account are overseen by the Treasury Department, can only be dispensed for humanitarian goods โ food, medicine, medical equipment โ and never touch Iranian hands. We have strict oversight of the funds and we retain the right to freeze them.โ
Imagine if every single day, President Biden appeared to believe he was running against George W. Bush for the presidency.
It would be the top headline of every publication.
The entire nation would be deeply concerned.
Well, Donald Trump has now more than a handful of times in the past couple of weeks said that he is running against Barack Obama in the 2024 election.
This morning, Trump wondered aloud during a Fox Radio interview with host Brian Kilmeade about Obama's nonexistent presidential statements on Iran's involvement in the Hamas attacks. A concerned-sounding Kilmeade had to correct Trump live. "Well, you mean President Biden," Kilmeade told Trump.
The other day Trump tried to cover for these brain lapses by trying to spread a conspiracy theory that Obama is President Biden's "boss." It was a weak attempt to cover for his failing mental faculties.
These are beyond slips of the tongue. When you add this together with Trump thinking that people need voter ID to buy bread, saying that President Biden was going to start World War II, and other recent gaffes, it's clear that Trump's mental deterioration must be brought to the forefront of the conversation.
Trump is deeply unwell. He is often confused, paranoid, and angry. And all of us โย and the media โย need to be talking about it daily.
Hakeem Jeffries and Liz Cheney speak out about House Republicans nominating Jim Jordan over Austin Scott for Speaker of the House:
Hakeem Jeffries:
โHouse Republicans have just elected a speaker nominee who in 16 years in congress hasn't passed a single bill, because his focus has not been on the American people, his focus has been on peddling lies and conspiracy theories and division."
Liz Cheney:
"If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. Theyโll lose the House majority and theyโll deserve to. Jim Jordan was involved in Trumpโs conspiracy to steal the election and seize power," she added. "He urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes."
Do you agree? Will Jordan be able to get enough votes to win the speakership?
BREAKING: Anti-MAGA Republican Liz Cheney brutally torches Congressman Jim Jordan as he struggles to get enough votes to become the new Speaker โ and says choosing him will be disastrous.
This is going to absolutely infuriate "Gym."
Cheney predicted that Republicans will lose control of the House next election if they pick Jordan to lead them.
"If Rs nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. Theyโll lose the House majority and theyโll deserve to," tweeted Cheney.
She went on to draw attention to the close relationship Jordan has with disgraced insurrectionist Donald Trump, and slammed him for working to overturn the 2020 election.
"Jim Jordan was involved in Trumpโs conspiracy to steal the election and seize power," she added. "He urged that Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes."
In a speech last week, Cheney ripped into Jordan, saying that if he wins the Speakership there will "no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected Republicans could defend against the Constitution."
"Jim Jordan knew more about what Donald Trump had planned for Jan. 6 than any other member of the House of Representatives," she said in the speech last week. "Jim Jordan was involved, was part of the conspiracy in which Donald Trump was engaged as he attempted to overturn the election."
Cheney is right. Jim Jordan belongs in prison, not wielding the Speaker's gavel.
Please retweet and โค๏ธ if you think that Liz Cheney nailed it โ and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a โwokeโ new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribelโs Twitter account โ but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
